UFAD and Client Log Files Locations
Converter Standalone saves log files as it operates.
Table 6-1 lists the default locations where log files are saved. You can view the log files or send them to VMware
support, if necessary.
These are also the file locations on the remote machine if you are running a remote hot clone. To send these
log files from a remote machine to VMware support, you must manually compress and send them.
